Mutations in the connexin 26 gene (GJB2), which encodes a gap-junction protein and is expressed in the inner ear, have been shown to be responsible for a major part of nonsyndromic hereditary prelingual (early-childhood) deafness in Caucasians. We have sequenced the GJB2 gene in 39 Japanese patients

Mutations in the gene for connexin 26, GJB2, are the most common cause of hearing loss in American and European populations, with a carrier rate of about 3%-a rate similar to that for cystic fibrosis. A single mutation, 35delG, is responsible for most of this autosomal recessive hearing loss, DFNB1.

The present study analyzes the frequency of molecular deletions in the steroid sulfatase (STS) encoding gene in a sample of 50 Mexican subjects with biochemical diagnosis of X-linked ichthyosis (XLI). To establish the correct diagnosis, STS activity was determined in leukocytes using 7-3 H-dehydroep

Defects of neural tube closure are among the most common of all human malformations. Epidemiological and genetic studies indicate that most of these defects are multifactorial in origin with genetic and environmental causes.
